Childcare massacre by ex-cop in Thailand leaves at least 36 dead
At least 36 people, including 24 children are dead following an horrific childcare centre massacre
Thailand is mourning the loss of 36 lives, after a man carried out a massacre attack on a childcare centre in the northeast of the nation.
It’s believed the horrific attack was carried out by a man with a knife and gun, while the children were asleep, before killing himself and his family.
Thailand’s Royal police says the man, a former officer, had been suspended from duty on January 20 after “he was accused of committing a serious disciplinary violation.”
During a search of his residence, police discovered a tablet of “yaba”, which is a combination of methamphetamine and caffeine.
In Thailand, it is “crazy medicine.”
The alleged attacker had previously appeared in court on a drug possession charge.
Global condolences
The United States is among a number of countries offering condolences and all of those impacted by the massacre.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says America is “horrified” by the mass killing.
“The images are heartbreaking and we condemn this act of violence and stand ready to assist our long-standing ally Thailand in whatever they need.”

The country’s prime minister will also travel to the region to pay his respects.
The prime minister’s office says Thailand will fly flags at half-staff as a mark of respect.

Greenland says “No” to U.S. takeover — Chooses Denmark in geopolitical showdown
Greenland’s PM chooses Denmark over U.S. amid Trump’s controversy over Arctic control, emphasizing sovereignty and local sentiment.
Greenland’s PM chooses Denmark over U.S. amid Trump’s controversy over Arctic control, emphasizing sovereignty and local sentiment.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens‑Frederik Nielsen has delivered a clear message amid renewed pressure from the U.S. — if forced to choose between the United States and Denmark, Greenland will pick Denmark, NATO, and the EU.
Nielsen made the declaration in Copenhagen alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen ahead of diplomatic talks with top U.S. officials.
The announcement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has again stoked controversy by suggesting Washington could pursue ownership or control of Greenland, citing strategic interests in the Arctic. European leaders and Greenlandic officials have pushed back strongly against these ideas, emphasising sovereignty and respect for international law.
This standoff places Greenland’s future in the spotlight — as Copenhagen and Nuuk reaffirm their ties, local sentiment remains overwhelmingly opposed to U.S. annexation and supportive of Greenland’s own path forward.
